The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 467

The O'Brien Group.

Jasper handed Haynes three carefully organized files.

"Haynie, these are the three women Rachel wants to invite. All three come from prominent families, and they've made quite a name for themselves in the music world over the past few years.

The general public may not know their names, but within the industry, they're practically celebrities—even turning down an invitation from Mr. Walden himself.

Oh, and...

This woman, Wendy, is the daughter of the Burke family. The O'Brien Group just started working with the Burkes not long ago.

If you reach out to Mr. Burke about this, I'm sure he'd be willing to do you a favor."

Haynes glanced over the files Jasper handed him and gave a noncommittal nod.

Jasper continued, "This Katrina—she's from a wealthy family too, but it's nothing compared to the O'Briens. Putting a bit of pressure on her family shouldn't be an issue.

But this Lauretta... that's going to be trickier."

Jasper frowned. "Her background is exceptional, and rumor has it she’s about to get engaged to Jonathan, the eldest son of the Williams family... Trying to strong-arm her won’t work."

Haynes paused in his perusal of the files. "Jonathan’s getting engaged?"

"Yeah," Jasper replied. "He’s not exactly young anymore, and as the future heir to the Williams Group, it’s about time. You’re a few years younger than him, and he could practically have a kid in grade school by now."

A thought seemed to strike Jasper, and he looked at Haynes. "Wait, you and Jonathan know each other, don’t you? Why not ask him for a hand?"

Haynes’s brow furrowed. "Whether he and Ms. Chapman are actually engaged isn’t set in stone yet. If I barged in now, it would just be intrusive and probably annoy him."

Jasper thought it over and realized Haynes had a point.

He asked, "How did you get to know the Williams family anyway? They’ve always been rooted in Solmaris. There’s not much overlap with the O’Briens, is there?"

In terms of business might, the Williams Group far outstripped the O'Briens.

Despite the O'Brien Group's meteoric rise under Haynes's leadership in recent years, compared to a century-old powerhouse like the Williams family, they were still building their foundation.

"I’ve heard Aurora is practically a legend—called the most beautiful woman to grace high society in a century. People say she’s like a living textbook for debutantes. Haynie, is she really all that stunning?"

Haynes answered simply, "She is."

Jasper’s eyes flicked with interest. "Is she as beautiful as Stella?"

He couldn’t deny Stella was among the most striking women he’d ever met. Otherwise, with all her shortcomings, how else could she have landed Haynes?

Though Stella’s looks were undeniable, Jasper had never liked her much. He wasn’t the type to be swayed by a pretty face alone.

In terms of talent, Rachel was far superior.

Haynes replied casually, "Different types. Hard to compare."

That surprised Jasper.

The name Aurora was practically legendary among the elite. She was said to be a master of everything—music, art, etiquette—and brilliant to boot.
